Maine · 23 delegates 5% reporting
Votes Ted Cruz 48.0% 662
Donald Trump 35.0% 482
Marco Rubio 8.6% 118
John Kasich 7.4% 102
We’ll see. He’s holding pretty strong where he needs to, is on track for over 1300 delegates, and, yes, when I did the count I gave Cruz KS, but did give Trump ME meaning I have to subtract 4 delegates from Trump.
But no, “Americans aren’t taking a second look.” What is happening is the GOPe machine is rolling out all the intimidation and exhortation it can to move the Rubes voters to Cruz. I have seen it on Twitter, people admitting to being Rubio supporters but doing an “Operation Chaos” to stop Trump.
Won’t work in the big primaries, but enjoy the little caucuses.
I think you are right! This is a good showing for TED tonight...of course we need to wait for all to be said and done but it sure LOOKS GOOD!!
“One thing is clear: Cruz does better in caucus states where his followers can intimidate people who aren’t “pros” in the political system.”
I figured he was lying to voters again, just as he did in Iowa and has done repeatedly about Trump’s positions. Good thing he is so very conservative and Christian! /s
Maine returns delayed till 7:00 p.m.
So you aren’t at Free Republic to support conservatives and help get them elected? As another Freeper said I’ll hold my nose vote Trump and throw up in the parking lot. You are the enemy every bit as much as Hillary.
CPAC straw poll win. Texas/Alaska/Oklahoma wins. Beating Trump also in Minnesota. Then on top of that a brilliant debate performance, followed by (landslide) Kansas and Maine wins tonight. Maybe even another win tonight, such as Kentucky. Yowza. And the Florida ground game for Cruz is really strengthening. Rubin's decline us Cruz' ascendancy. Two man race, just as I felt as t when he could start to break from the anti-Trump pack and become that standard bearer.
Gotta love how you attack Cruz from the left. Real liberal move that is.
you guys would have called it YUGGGGGGGGGEEEEE if it had been the other way for Trump.
Yep. •••• Two man •••• race. Bring it baby. Bye bye Rubio.
Keep in mind that according to the raw vote, right now the “huge” Cruz lead in ME is 140 votes.
He stood far above them all!!!! I was very proud of him and I think real honest Americans that will evaluate on the truth spoken and not all this EMOTIONAL garbage, will see Ted for who he really is. A HONEST LEADER!!
this Lie LIES LIES business is a game of " gossip" being played by TRUMP to divert and decoy from real issues.
I'm not convinced that Cruz is a conservative. IMO, he's just the next conservative messiah that will stab me in the back when in power.
Corker bill, H1-B's, support of HEAD Start, support of Roberts, flipping on immigration, TPA/TPP, CFR/NAFTA & Wall Street ties.
“I figured he was lying to voters again, just as he did in Iowa and has done repeatedly about Trump’s positions.”
How would you know? Trump can’t even articulate his positions! But, you learned well from your cult leader, Trump. You sure know how to toss around the “liar” accusations! And Trump would know, I guess. Nobody lies more than “the Donald!”
Trump has been a very successful businessman, which invites lawsuits. Show me one billionaire that ran businesses that was never sued.
That’s why so few entrepreneurs are created each tear - the risks are huge. mi know this firsthand.
OTIH, being a politician supported by taxpayers and creating nothing is a safe cushy job.
That's what they are calling a HUGE LEAD?
What's an attack from the left? Not trusting him on immigration?
No real man will vote for that whiny bitch SHRILLARY!.
Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
Only Rubio would have a hard time beating her, because hes a whiny bitch too.
Cruz DOES lie; by omission and commission.
